The Nene is the native name for the Hawaiian Goose, I spoke to a member of staff at WWT Slimbridge about them it seems there are now approximately 15 thousand wild in Hawaii.

The Nene wander the paths of Slimbridge in groups looking for grain fed to them by WWT staff. They are very approachable then, & will pose for you, however off the the paths they are shy, & make for a more difficult photograph.
